What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

These are my resumed signs of autism when I was a child. Most of them got overlooked because the only thing about autism my parents and grandparents knew was about very severe cases of autism. Another factor is that I was born female (I'm trans) and that I masked from a young age.

I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.

I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.

What's a memory from your childhood that shaped who you are today?

I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.

I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.

I watched some films over and over again specially my favourite scenes.

I didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.

I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

I always had a justice sense, if there was no equality or justice I would get very upset about that.

It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.

I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.

I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.

I had trouble sharing objects and food, normally someone had to tell me to give them something. I sometimes didn't want people to have my objects to the point of meltdowns.
